Dear Potential Homebirth client, Congratulations on considering a homebirth! As you know, there are several midwives that serve this area; we range in age, experience level and most importantly, personality and philosophy of practice. You are of course welcome to email me or call me for a chat before we schedule a “consultation”, but [...]

I am excited to announce that Arizona is moving up in the “birth choices” world–there is not one, but two free-standing birth centers that are about to open their doors for business in Phoenix. This is huge, because there has not been a free-standing birth center there (or anywhere even remotely close) in geez, [...]

In making this short natural birth video for Indie Birth last week, I became clear on some crucial birth “concepts”. Plus, I get around on Facebook and such and there has been a lot of inter-midwife debates about the phrase “trust birth”. So, what do I think? Do I Trust Birth? Yeah, I do have [...]

Like all of my babies, Belgium’s birth story really begins before her birth. About 10 months ago, I began noticing a very strong female energy around me. It was there when I journeyed or meditated in particular, and I literally could feel her swirling about. With a babe of 6 months on [...]

What place does fear have in homebirth? What place does intervention-of any kind- have in homebirth? I received the opportunity to explore these issues on a much deeper level throughout the past week, and I am infinitely grateful for that.

Well, it has been a few weeks since my last post, now hasn’t it? I really am in disbelief that I only have 5 weeks left before my due date-ish time. The days and weeks seem to go by so quickly, finishing up with some of my mamas and yet starting off a [...]
